Taysom Hill's Starting Role

  • 🏈 Taysom Hill is set to start at quarterback for the Saints, prompting discussions about his fantasy viability.
  • 🎯 While some doubt his ability as a traditional quarterback, his eligibility at tight end on platforms like FanDuel offers a unique advantage.
  • πŸ“ˆ Hill is ranked between 15th and 20th as a quarterback, with the expectation that Jameis Winston might still see playing time if the Saints fall behind.

Injury Updates and Player Outlooks

  • πŸ₯ Joe Mixon did not practice, making Giovanni Bernard the expected starter.
  • πŸ€• Teddy Bridgewater is questionable, and Kenny Golladay did not practice, impacting the outlook for players like Marvin Jones.
  • 🌟 Marvin Jones is considered a solid WR3, especially with potential increased targets due to other injuries.
  • πŸš€ Devante Adams and Allen Lazard practiced, which is positive news for Adams' availability.

Fantasy Football Mailbag: Start/Sit Decisions

  • ❓ Questions revolved around starting two receivers and a flex from a pool including Cooper Kupp, DJ Moore, DJ Chark, and Damien Harris.
  • πŸ€” DJ Moore was downgraded slightly due to uncertainty around Teddy Bridgewater's play.
  • 🎯 In full PPR, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are recommended starts, with either MVS or Will Fuller as a potential third option.
  • 🏈 For running backs in PPR, J.D. McKissick and Kareem Hunt are favored over others like Zeke and Damien Harris.

Trade Analysis and Advice

  • πŸ”„ A trade of DK Metcalf for James Robinson and Amari Cooper is considered favorable given the depth at running back.
  • 🀝 Adam Thielen for Antonio Gibson is seen as a fair trade, though McKissick's target share impacts Gibson's upside.
  • πŸ“ˆ Christian McCaffrey for Kenny Golladay is a no-brainer trade, especially for a team in first place, despite McCaffrey's injury status.
  • πŸ“‰ Trading Brandon Cooks for Ronald Jones is viewed as a downgrade, especially buying high on Jones' best game.

Tight End Dilemmas and League Rules

  • πŸ€” The eligibility of Taysom Hill at tight end in leagues where he also starts at quarterback is a contentious issue, with the consensus being to follow the platform's rules.
  • πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ League commissioners are advised not to veto trades unless they are collusive or clearly against league rules, even if one party tries to back out.
  • πŸ“Š In a 2QB league, trading for Cam Newton is considered a fine move, especially if a team needs quarterback depth.
  • 🧐 Streaming quarterbacks is a common strategy, with Tua, Rivers, Carr, and Dalton being discussed as options.
